    Very familiar which is why I caught the fact it is more a revelation about the general population. And then of course these types of polls are often filled with.

    Who cares about people more?

    And if they answer Republican it is the wrong answer.

    Or comparing the HUGE number of viewers to the few number of viewers. Sorta like MSNBC has 30% of it's viewers with an IQ over 140 while Fox just 25%. Hmm MSNBC views must be smarter. But then Fox has 800,000 viewers with IQs over 140 while MSNBC just 10,000. Purely made up scenario so don't scream for a link.

    That old lies, damn lies and statistics.

    Or why was Clinton impeached?
    Or who balanced the budget in 1998.
    Or Bush said "Mission Accomplished"
    Or Bush lied to go to war in Iraq.

    The Left has been shown time and time again how MSNBC lies and doctors tapes to make things look different than they actually are. They have been shown to have the nastiest mouths, but do you hear any of them demanding that they be honest, or knock of the trash talk? They have two sets of standards, one they want others to follow and one they do themselves. Once they demand their side clean up their own house, then they can think about putting down others.

    Don't see them demanding a conservative side at all and are just content to watch them attack FOX and Republicans.

    You do realize that the crap that passes for a scientific and mathematically sound poll from those sites are nothing more than agenda driven propaganda whose only objective is to destroy everything that doesn't lock step march with the left?

    Well I'm still waiting for the Left to match what we found on MSNBC with Fox. Got 4-5 videos that Fox doctored up to change the very meaning of the story? We can start with that then go to lies both have told. Just saying it goes both ways doesn't do it. If you think Fox does the same thing, show it.

    If it were just a wrong now and then I could agree with you. But MSNBC is doing it constantly. Now you may find a couple on Fox, but to say Fox does the same thing MSNBC does is totally wrong. For the Left to keep on trashing Fox while you look over all the crap MSNBC does is B.S. Fox does nothing like MSNBC does, but the Left hardly will ever condemn them.

    I just listened to part of Obama's speech to the UN and was impressed. He really brought it to them as far as committing to fight ISIS.He basically told tem words without actions is useless. I also give him credit for getting 5 Islamic nations involved in the fighting. Especially the air war.

    Er, are you suggesting that there is no such thing as polling science? That polls that publish their methodology and raw data for others to interpret, are manipulating that data and lying abou their methodology?

    I don't doubt that there are lots of left wing pollsters, just as there are right wing pollsters. I guess you have conveniently forget the infamous series of FOX news and Rasmussen polls that indicated a landslide for Romney right up until the election?

    I agree both FOX and MSNBC are guilty of misrepresentation, distortion and lies.

    here's a list of FOX lies to start with:.

    http://americablog.com/2014/07/punditfact-fox-news-wins-battle-false-cable-network.html

    OTOH, any "news organization" that consists of 84% opinion, ain't much of a news organization.

    If you don't have his record, then your argument that Fox does not lie or make mistakes, or that you are making an issue of this, makes little sense other than you making another rant.

    Bill Maher is an far Left Wing ass and Greg Gutfeld is trying to take credit where none is due.


    MSNBC is no better and no worse than Fox News. They're simply another symptom of the highly polarized nature of today's politics. If citizens didn't watch either of them, they'd go out of business.

    Blaming either for the polarized state of politics is like blaming a baby for the pregnancy. Both are a result of polarized politics, not the cause.

    Come Robert, if he didn't believe what they said and talked to them, wouldn't one of the first things he would ask is did Hannity put you up to saying it? Or did you not really understand the health care system and thought it was hurting you and contacted Hannity to tell him your story. It's almost impossible to think he would go so far as to find them, call them and not ask those questions.

    Read my other answer to you Robert.

    Uh yes they do but I'm not at all surprised that you think any airing of the conservative side makes it not fair and balanced as that view is not to be allowed :police:

    Well the first one on your list are comments made mostly by Fox guests, not by Fox news casters or Fox commentators. They were giving their views. The ones I put up on MSNBC were all done intentionally by MSNBC, not by any guest they had on their show.

    How about this one from MSNBC. He is calling for bringing charges against the officer who shot the Black kid even before the Grand Jury finds he committed a crime, just to satisfy the Black community.

    MSNBC’s Chris Hayes: Indictment of Officer Who Killed Michael Brown Might Be Only Fix

    MSNBC’s Chris Hayes on Monday suggested the arrest of Darren Wilson, the officer who shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown of Ferguson, Mo., might be the only way to solve the ongoing turmoil.

    “I think the security problem in Ferguson, is not solvable through policing,” Hayes said on Twitter. “Until charges are brought against Wilson, this will go on.”

    I wonder if his personal involvement in both the Zimmerman and Ferguson cases was hurting the office of Attorney General?

    we could go back and forth all day. Suffice it to say that given the state of journalism today, lies can be found in all areas of media.

    Yes, which was my second link and reference to 84% opinion on MSNBC.

    Then go on pretending that Sean Hannity and everyone on Fox News are incapable of lying. Your ridiculous and immature scenario is not reality so if that is how you post don't bother relying.

    I didn't forget anything. Neither FOX nor Rasmussen had Romney winning in a landslide. Only the twin morons of Dick Morris and Karl Rove had Romney in a landslide. Don't believe me?

    Here are the numbers gathered by Real Clear Politics:

    http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/us/general_election_romney_vs_obama-1171.html

    Feel free to show me where any FOX or Rasmussen poll had Romney polling anywhere higher than 2% in the last two months of the election. They didn't. Pew polled 4% and Monmouth/USA Today had him at 3%.

    Or are you suggesting that a Romney 1% by Rasmussen is a landslide?
